Grand Jurors Recommend Slash in Salaries; Deplore Wahlberg Discuss Boldness of the grand jury in dealing directly with controversial subjects and its recommendations for 10 percent slashes in both appointive and elective county officers' salaries contained in the report filled last Friday afternoon with Presiding Judge James L. Allen of the county superior court, this week earned the hearty praise of most Orange county residents. The jury's view of an "inevitable cut in assessed valuations and for that reason we urge the strictest economy in preparing budgets especially by the school boards," won favorable comment as taxpayers on every hand began studying the report with minute care. Recent controversy over published and broadcast statements of Farm Advisor Harold Wahlberg received recognition from the county grand jury. Wahlberg was hailed before the jury two weeks ago amid an atmosphere of secrecy. After going over the activities of his department the jury recommended for his department: "In the way of field meets, this department has rendered a good service. We approve the university extension course, but we deplore the sensational manner in which the unknown future has been dealt with. This department, along with other departments, has expanded during the boom and, we feel its activities could be curtailed without any serious damage to the county." The wording and recommendation for curtailment of the report was interpreted in court house circles as meaning that the services of Wahlberg might be dispensed with. Considerable clamor against Wahlberg was evident in this district following his discussion of the future of orange growing in which he stated that over-planting in Southern California might cause the prices to drop. Secretary George Reid of the Anaheim chamber of commerce and others immediately began pointing out that overplanting is next to impossible. HIGHLIGHTS OF REPORT FILED BY GRAND JURY Highlights in the Orange county grand jury report filed late last week with Presiding Judge James L. Allen of the superior court as follows: 1. 10 percent reduction of appointive officers' salaries; to be followed by recommended voluntary reduction of 10 percent for elective officers. 2. County budget be reduced at least 10 percent, except where otherwise recommended. 3. Indirect recommendation to dispense with County Farm Advisor Harold Wahlberg's services by finding that activities of that department might well be curtalled. 4. Water conservation and flood control should be given serious consideration not only by supervisors, but by voters as well. 5. No new roads or bridges be sponsored for several years; praised present condition of road department. 6. Recommended county sheriff be put on regular stipulated salary, county prisoners be fed by county; number of federal prisoners be kept at minimum in county jail until federal allowances for their care increased. 7.

Considerable clamor against Wahlberg was evident in this district following his discussion of the future of orange growing in which he stated that over-planting in Southern California might cause the prices to drop. Secretary George Reid of the Anaheim chamber of commerce and others immediately began pointing out that overplanting is next to impossible because of the limited amount of suitable acreage. Salary Cuts Asked Water conservation and flood control, the jury believed, should receive favorable consideration from the county board of supervisors and the public in general, because of its immediate and paramount importance to the welfare of the county. Recommendation for the 10 percent in salaries, involuntary for the appointive, and voluntary for the elective officers of the county, is in line with recent actions by the Anaheim and Fullerton city councils in seeking to reduce the cost of government. Anticipation of the decrease of revenue from taxation caused a number of recommendations for greatly decreased expenditures. Jury was especially concerned about the cost of public schools, improvements VERY LATEST BY MARY MARSHALL At first lance we fell in love with this new sleeve. It was something new and most flattering to the arm of the young woman who wore the dress. On second glance we realized that though it looked a trifle intricate it was not too difficult to achieve at home. Carful investigation followed—and here's the story. The sleeve of the dress ends a few inches above the elbow, and is continued on over the elbow by a loosely fitting Health Camp Tots Throw Snowballs $70,000 Expended for Labor on $115,000 Project; First Line for District Children of the Orange County Children's health camp two weeks ago enjoyed the thrill of throwing snowballs, and still are talking about the veritable fairyland created the morning snow was found on the ground, according to word received in Anaheim this week by interested persons. Included in the information was this notation from the camp. "The camp is enjoying the new fireplace in the Recreation Hall, made possible by the Anaheim Rotary club, J. Simon Fluor and others, these cool evenings. Small bodies building resistance keep busy and warm during the day wearing the scanty apparel of the health camp consisting of khaki pants and sweat coats but in the evening it is jolly to sit around the cheery fireplace and hear stories read by Miss Reinschmidt, superintendent, or Mrs. Loretta Kelley, nurse." Garden Grove Banks Merged Last Week By vote of stockholders of the two institutions, Garden Grove's two banks, the First National and the Citizens, Economies practice hospital were commenced Harry Zaiser and Many Pro Steady increases county's health department and a reduction in percent asked.

In discussing B jury asked that an be made. extension of chiffon or net to match the dress. The edge of the net or chiffon is finished with a narrow hem run with fine round rubber so as to make the sleeve puff slightly over the elbow. Velvet ribbon to match the dress is used for the trimming. It should be an inch or a little more in width and you will need about one yard and a quarter for each sleeve, the exact amount depending on the size of the arm. Cut the velvet ribbon in four pieces for each sleeve. Join the ends to form four circles and then gather each along the top, and sew to the sleeve as shown in the sketch. 50 Cases of Liquor Captured Along Shore Fifty cases of liquor landed between San O'Nofre and the Orange county line at San Clemente last Friday were added to the large store of "bonded stuff" taken along the coast this year. Federal prohibition agents confiscated the cargo. No men were captured. Slash in County erg Discussion asked for and planned, and urged economy in this direction. Four school districts should be consolidated into two, the Loara joining the Anaheim, and the Peralta merging with the Olive, in interests of economy, the jury found. Installation of drinking fountains in the Anaheim high school and Central school of Anaheim were asked. Conditions throughout the county generally were found satisfactory. Increase Prisoner Cost Foreman O. H. Barr of Santa Ana and other members of the jury were careful to recommend that no new roads be started, nor new bridges be planned, for several years, following a review of the work done by the county road department, which was deemed in admirable condition. Only grading, oiling of dirt surfaces, and maintenance is recommended. For the sheriff's department the jury feels that a stipulated salary should be paid the chief executive and that the number of federal prisoners in the county jail be kept at an absolute minimum pending such a time as the federal government will increase allowances for their care. The jury also asks that the county take over the feeding of county prisoners, evidently as a means toward economy. Economies practiced by the county hospital were commended, and Dr. Harry Zalser and staff were lauded. Many Problems Studied Steady increases in the cost of the county's health department was noted, and a reduction in its budget of 25 percent asked. Work of Dr. K. H. Sutherland was lauded. In line with its economy move, the jury asks that the county fruit patrol be entirely discontinued.

Supervisors were praised for their work in connection with relief plans for the county, and the welfare department was lauded for its part as follows: "This department is doing a great work in this time of stress and its work cannot be praised too highly." Painting of the Fullerton jail was recommended in that portion which discussed the jail situation in the county. It also can be put in a more sanitary condition by installation of better ventilating and lighting systems, the jurors believed. In discussing Brea's condition the jury asked that an audit of its books be made. Legal Battle on Bastanchury Fund Standard Oil Granted Right to Harvest Crop; Ranch Seeks Funds Legal battle over revenues at the Bastanchury ranch continues. Thursday afternoon of last week Superior Judge James L. Allen ruled that the Standard Oil company's crop mortgage of $300,000 on the 2500-acre ranch entitled it to take the crop. Both the Consolidated Securities company, which has a $750,000 trust deed, and the Bank of America, which holds $1,500,000 in ranch bonds, contested the case. Then along comes the Bastanchury corporation, putting in a claim for $53,204.13 listed by Receiver W. Edgar Spear as funds derived under the receivership. The corporation claims sales of fruit and nuts from the ranch prior to the receivership October 3, 1931, netted the above amount. Expert Watch Repairing EYES EXAMINED—GLASSES FITTED MOMER A.
